    Raw oysters were huge. Almost intimidating. Grilled oysters were wonderful. Very flavorful. Drinks were well balanced. Gumbo left a lot to be desired. Our service was wonderful and the staff was incredibly friendly.

    The smoked fried oysters were top notch! The food was very good. The bread for the Po boys was not what I usually anticipate for New Orleans Poboy bread. Maybe it just needed to be slightly toasted? But the filling was delicious, in my case, fried oysters. The shrimp and grits were good. The jalapeño grits were a stand out. Service was friendly and enthusiastic. Overall, a fun place and a good dining experience.

    Crawfish were very fishy, did not taste fresh. Happy hour oysters/shrimp were very good value.

    Food was excellent, nice portions. Took a while to get noticed by staff, but otherwise our server was very attentive. If you want an option to crowded French Quarter restaurants, this is a great find.
